Retribution
In Hijacking
There is, perhaps, an ironic
retribution to be seen in the
tragic hijacking of TWA Flight
847. Had not Shimon Peres and
the Unity Government released
hundreds of Arab murderers
into the Israeli civilian popula-
tion for three Jewish soldiers,
Israel would not be victimized
now.
Were it not enough that Jews
in Israel will increasingly be
targets of carnage from more
terrorist attacks, scores of inno-
cent Americans may also die,
anti-Semites will say, "I told
you so," and more Arab ter-
rorists will be released to prey
and butcher. This because with
the freeing of the Arabs, Peres
shredded whatever was left of
the Israeli principle and boast
about never dealng with ter-
rorists and Palestinian killers
If the Americans die, every
anti-Semite, actual and poten-
tial, will blame the Jews for
their deaths .. .

Levin's Purpose
There are a number of errors
in the article, "Public Percep-
tions Worry Carl Levin," in your
June 14 edition.
For instance, in the second
paragraph, the purpose of my
trip to Nebraska and South
Dakata was listed as being my
concern about farm state percep-
tions of the American-Jewish
community. As a matter of fact,
my brother Sander and I made
the trip principally to show the
support of members of Congress
from so-called industrial states
like Michigan for the plight of
so-called farm states.
Since I believe my basic point
was sound, that both our heri-
tage and our self-interest re-
quire us to be actively involved
in and identified with issues of
general concern, I especially re-
gret that my point may have
been obscured.

History Repeats
10600 Galaxie, Ferndale, Mich. 48220
Your article on "Who is a
Jew" May 17 resurrected the
last 2,000 years of Jewish his-
tory.
History repeats itself, with
many similarities to those of an-
cient times. Looking back at the
time of the Hasmoneans, three
main groups existed that trou-
bled the Jewish people of that
period.
1) The Perushim (Pharisees)
"separated", together with the
Tannaim practiced Jewish law,
unchanged as it was observed
through all generations. They
were our Orthodox Jews of to-
day.
2) The Eseem (Essenes) were
a small religious group with lit-
tle interest in politics.
3) The Zadukim (Sadducees)
included the rich Hellenists (as-
similated into Greek culture).
They introduced many customs
foreign to the spirit of the To-
rah. They reduced the Jewish
religion to fit their fancy or con-
venience. They are the Reform
and Conservative Jews of today.
So, nothing has changed since
the Hasmoneans .. .

Promo Protested
The promotion shown on Chan-
nel 7 for "Kelly and Co." on May
28th showed Mr. Kelly asking the
question, "Is the Jewish lobby
cheating the American taxpayer"
or similar verbiage. Unfortu-
nately, the "promo" was more
than just offensive. It was a page
out of yesterday's yellow dog jour-
nalism. Without further explora-
tion, that slogan fed the smolder-
ing fires of stereotypic hate.
Channel 7, on the very same
day, showed a piece by Peter Jen-
nings noting the rise of fanatic
far-right fringes which combine
religious fervor and survivalism.
In this program, Mr. Jennings
showed groups who openly and on
camera advocate the "Final Solu-
tion" for Jews. Channel 7's action,
via this promotion, feeds those
hate merchants . . .
